World Hoop Day St. Louis

World Hoop Day 2010 hoop donation

World Hoop Day is the hooper’s holiday.  There is a big event, it usually offers a variety of performance, workshops, and other activities.  In St. Louis we do our part by giving 100 hand-made hoops to a chosen school in the St. Louis Public Schools district once a year as our contribution to the World Hoop Day concept.  The STL hoop Club to date has donated 300 hand-made hoops to three different schools and taught over a dozen workshops in direct relation to this project.
